Dear Applicant,

Let me be the first to congratulate you on choosing to apply for a position at John Knox Ranch! We are extremely proud of the summer camp program that we offer for children ages 3-18, and of the rewarding work that we offer to college age adults through that program. You must know that in submitting your application for employment, you are completing the first step toward becoming a member of a very special group of people who actually change the lives of hundreds of young people each summer through an outdoor Christian camping experience.
If this is your first time inquiring about John Knox Ranch summer camp, we have some additional information about our program. Summer camp is approximately seven weeks long, once orientation is completed. Sessions are mostly one week in length, with the exception of the LIT programs, a ten-day session and two two-week sessions. Counselors are responsible for a group of five to seven campers per cabin; two cabins join to make up a family group and participate in all daily activities together. At night the whole camp comes together to participate in one evening activity.

In this packet you will find a list of job descriptions. Please read over them carefully and choose the one that fits you best. Keep in mind the position that we need filled the most is “counselor”. After you have looked over the job descriptions, please make sure that you are available for all dates including the orientation dates. If you cannot be here for all of the dates, please call the office and speak to me about those times you must be absent. Fill out the application and answer the questions that pertain to your job description. Then mail the packet in by March 14.

Finally, if you are a Junior Counselor or a first time applicant, please give the reference form to three references and have them mail it directly to us. All other staff, please fill out the reference page supplying us with three contacts. If you are interested in an Upper Leadership position, please call and check to see if the position is still available. When I have received all your information, I will call and conduct phone interviews with returning counselors, and set up a face- to-face interviews with first time applicants. Again, please make sure your application is completed and returned to John Knox Ranch no later than March 14.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us at the ranch.

Blessings on your head!

   John Knox Staff
